Purple Flower's Functionality
Aside from God-blessed beauty
Midst vital contribution to the ecosystem
Dendrobium Purple Orchid boasts of functional essence.
Endowed with delicate elegance
Showcasing longevity in blooming for months
The exotic “moth” shaped flower is nature’s pretty ornament.
Used in leis for graduation ceremonies
Or as garlands in events, as well as decorations
It serves as unique gift midst presentation that is gorgeous.
Appreciating flower’s value
Blossom, environmentally priceless and precious
My heart praises the Creator* Who lets me behold such.
*Genesis 1:31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good…

Dendrobium
Let's go there, where together means forever;
Where couples get into a relationship but leave never.
No sorrow, no complications, no death;

Mashed'''',,,, Squished and Stitched----
Sighs yet again
a fold here,
a crease there
origami wings
that are limp,
drenched
looking pretty lonely and pathetic
under, that, crying, sky, , , ,
, , , ,

It ironically fits well
into the day that is filled with cracks,
that spills into the evening----
s h a t t e r e d eggshells
that can't be beared to be buried,
only placed carefully with the dried leaves...
If only for a moment,
I keep my cradle of tears at bay,
as I let the moon do the weeping for me.
A mental tracking back
of the weeks, days, hours, minutes;
Let the scientist return to inference
Walk back to the time of hope and grief--
The dendrobium. The grasshoppers. The twisted bonsai.
Looking behind,
the footprints
are still there... . . . ..
Wash them away
with waves of laughter,
Erase all vestiges of me.
Forget I was ever here;
that should be easy
...I never meant much to you anyway
